Domaine Bellavista - Rivesaltes Ambré 1993

3*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

89/100

A. Larsson

"Finesse, elegance, smoothness. Balance, aromatic intensity with notes of dried fruit, gingerbread, red apricot, tender sweetness balanced with restrained acidity, rancio finish... Pure pleasure, after a most promising start with notes of dried apricot, leather, toast, and above all rancio, with a hint of walnut." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

About wine:

Refinement, elegance, smoothness. Balance, aromatic intensity with notes of dried fruit, gingerbread, red apricot, tender sweetness balanced with restrained acidity, rancio finish... Pure pleasure, after a most promising start with notes of dried apricot, leather, toast, and above all rancio, with walnut kernels.

About the estate:

Acquired in 1992 by the Bertrand family, this 50-hectare estate, nestled in the hills of Castelnou, proudly displays its superb, well-restored 13th-century buildings. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2013.
